lift your front wheel up as far as possible before slipping back, then kick it around and stomp it down:) so like jhop whip instead of normal whipping.

^if he juss sed he flys forward then wehy would he lean more forward? id say lift up ur front wheel then lift the back so u can clear over shit insted of taking both wheels off at the same time. and put ur dominent foot out to catch the whip so u dont fall.

It's all about commitment, I swear to it. Just relax and slowly gain the confidence. I had the same problem. It's all in the mind.

kubish, you naturally heelwhip. i think that's good, it adds a ton of style. you could try kicking it with your front foot's toes and catching it with you back foot like a goofy tailwhip. but if i was you i would keep heelwhips my dominant whip because they look soo good. just keep practicing.

i ride goofy but not ski, try and think about lifting your scooter over the obstacle then lifting your feet over... it all in your head!

no I dont heelwhip i have to switch my feet to the other side to tailwhip so its kinda annoying. Just to recap I ride goofy...then when i wanna tailwhip i have to switch my feet and body to the other side to tailwhip. And i tried riding reg and i can even jump out of the bowl or jump up a curb...

well once you get good at whipping it with your wrists, youll be able to do heelwhips really well standing goofy, it wont take much practice, maybe a month to get it dialed
